Get your Big Sky Airlines flight compensation for the route Kithira - Zakynthos
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Big Sky Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Kithira - Zakynthos flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 251 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Kithira Airport (KIT)
- Arrival airport: Dionysios Solomos Airport (ZTH)
- Flight distance: 251 km (~0h19)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Big Sky Airlines Kithira - Zakynthos is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Dionysios Solomos Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Big Sky Airlines owes you 250 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Big Sky Airlines KIT-ZTH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Kithira.
What are the conditions for Big Sky Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Zakynthos.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kithira airport.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Kithira, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Big Sky Airlines compensation
Don't be fooled by Big Sky Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

What are your rights at Kithira airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Kithira Airport airport, Big Sky Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Kithira Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Big Sky Airlines.
